Plane on a treadmill always seems so obvious to me. Planes don’t have power connected to their wheels. Put a plane on a dynamometer and crank the engine up as fast as it will go, and the wheels will still not spin. At the same time, water planes use pontoons and are still able to take off just fine.

The question I have is, can a plane take off with a tailwind that matches the speed that the propeller is pushing out.

The working class is already revolting.

Ba-dum-tss

Oh my god!! Won’t somebody think of the profits?!!

Write a note on it and use that note to rob a bank. That’ll give you more time than killing someone.

We already had that in the US. Turns out, not as illegal as you might think.

Jesus Christ! And I thought the Uvalde police were bad!

Damn! I knew I shouldn’t have bought my machine at the Music Factory.

The incapacitate spell takes a bit to really take hold, but is highly effective when hit with a full charge.

Truly a truck for the do-it-yourselfer!

Dick’s in Washington has 4 or 5 locations, all within 20 miles of downtown Seattle, and a roving food truck or two. If you don’t live in the greater Seattle metro area, you don’t know what Dick’s is.

This has to be a collection of local news polls or something.

Right!? I’d set up a C&C machine to churn out Jesus Trump shit to sell on ebay if it weren’t for my conscience in knowing that exploiting anyone, even those you don’t like, is morally wrong, and the fact that it’d make me vomit to contribute anything to the new Reich.

Makes you wonder how many of them own timeshares.

Starting to think the guy who spray painted “fuck Elon” on all those trucks was a disgruntled Cybertruck owner.

Seems like an awful lot of work when a can of expanding foam squirted in the right places will disable most anything mechanical and is much more difficult to remove.

And that moment lasted as long as the theoretical “now”.

(“Now” never happens because the moment your brain registers that “now” has happened, it’s already “then”)

Since when has not experiencing something, or even having any knowledge of something, prevented the internet from expressing their opinions about it?

That makes sense and works because it’s in an enclosed and private space. Fat day at the beach will quickly turn into a zoo exhibit for cruel people because the world is horrible.

I’m smelling an awful lot of bullshit here. If the power grid (or any other major infrastructure) had a known single point of failure that would cause the entire system to collapse, there would be more than 2 people who know about it, and they certainly wouldn’t be vague-booking it to Lemmy.

Great in theory, but fat people will always be oggled at and judged for their size. All this will do is make a big spectacle and draw attention to those who really just want to be left the fuck alone to live their lives.

So, when you take a shower, all you think is “scrub, scrub, scrub, scrub, rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse”?

When I shower, it’s all pretty automatic and muscle memory kinds of actions. My mind wanders all over the place, usually while listening to music /podcasts /audio books, but rarely do I think about the actual act of bathing.
